Early Dismissal | NFA North Campus ONLY

April 16, 2026

Dear Newburgh Free Academy North Campus,

Newburgh Free Academy North Campus will dismiss at 12:00pm today, April 16, 2026, due to unseasonably warm temperatures in the building. This early dismissal is for NFA North Campus ONLY. 

All after-school activities that take place outside will remain as scheduled. 

More information:

Our facilities utilize large-scale industrial cooling systems at NFA North Campus that require several days to reach peak operational efficiency. Once these systems are engaged for the season, they are designed to run continuously; they cannot be easily cycled on and off to match daily temperature fluctuations.

Current Status:

While we are experiencing unseasonably warm weather this week, the forecast for next week indicates a return to significantly colder temperatures. To prevent the risk of frozen or compromised pipes and to ensure the long-term integrity of our infrastructure, in consultation with our Facilities and custodial teams the district is delaying the activation of the cooling units until the threat of freezing temperatures has passed.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to maintain our facilities and ensure our systems remain reliable for the duration of the summer season.

Sincerely,

Dr. Jackielyn Manning Campbell
Superintendent of Schools
